Nick Saban and "The Process"

Earlier today I read an awesome article about Alabama head football coach, Nick Saban. Since Saban's arrival at Alabama, success has become the norm in regard to the football program. Here is a quote that really stuck out to me:

“Well, the process is really what you have to do day in and day out to be successful,” he said. “We try to define the standard that we want everybody to sort of work toward, adhere to, and do it on a consistent basis. And the things that I talked about before, being responsible for your own self-determination, having a positive attitude, having great work ethic, having discipline to be able to execute on a consistent basis, whatever it is you’re trying to do, those are the things that we try to focus on, and we don’t try to focus as much on the outcomes as we do on being all that you can be.

“Eliminate the clutter and all the things that are going on outside and focus on the things that you can control with how you sort of go about and take care of your business. That’s something that’s ongoing, and it can never change.”

 This article gives great insight into how that success is achieved year in and year out. Here is the link to the full article.
